Congratulations, and stay assured: in this blog we will always be watching out for those gaudily flowering Worlds, and we will not fail to report if some brighter future comes hopping down the road, so that all our brothers can join the authentic revolution.

Thanks for sharing your ideas.

The true people’s power came out through political struggles and more often than not by violent force; they could NEVER be established by means of negotiations among political forces. That power was the Revolutionary Committees in the 1970’s or, what are equivalent, the Soviets in the former USSR in the early stages of the October Revolution during and shortly after 1917.

There is no legislative body which holds true peoples power either in China or in the first world, as yet. Those bodies serving their capitalist masters’ fundamental interests are quite popular these days, but when and after the financial crises developed to their noontide , they will be overthrown and replaced with genuine peoples’ organizations. So be patient. A far brighter world than this gaudily flowering one will come all!

Then again, this post is probably not so useful for people who read Chinese (they can just follow the links and surf on their own) but rather for the ones whose reading skills are low and can benefit from a “browse with ULN” trip.

Also, I am not sure if the post is understandable for those not familiar with China. I might have gone a bit too fast over terms like “雷人” and “山寨”. This would be a pity, because the main objective of posts like this is to introduce outside people to the fascinating world of the Chinese internet.

So please, if you read this post and didn’t get it, leave your comment or questions so I can answer. This will help me improve for the next time.

Any err.. thundering feedback?

But in my understanding the NPC is more like a legislative body (ie making new laws) rather than checking enforcement, which in our Western systems belongs to the Judiciary.

Oh, well, but what do I know. Top leader Wu Bangguo said very clearly yesterday that China has a unified system and doesn’t need the separation of 3 powers. But in this case: why keep running this expensive Beijing Carnival every year?

PS: In your comment I think you are mistaking the role of the NPCongress with the role of its participants. These participants are part of the State Council and as such hold positions (like minister, for example) that do government work. But the NPC itself is meant (at least in theory) to have legislative power.
